DaveGuy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{[Celestial City]}]

pretty good

Try to master your volumes abit better because it seems though as if the song itself is too loud and the bass or kick drum is taking up all of the volume and badly/messily sidechaining the lead saw. In the 2nd half of the song, your kick drum is flat, and fix that up too.

Although I gotta give you props for the melodies and instrument choice. the arp you added in the last quarter was a good choice.

This is just my two cents for you, you have potential with music and I can see you getting better at this. Keep it up :)

P.S. Can you check out one of my newest songs? I make dance/trance/techno and recently a house song. Thankyou

[Argyros - Relapse]

legit

yo dude you gotta finish this, you have a great singing voice and I constantly listened to lets play pirates.
Have you ever considered going on itunes? make more songs with singing and words like lets play pirates and relapse and you'll be the next basshunter.

P.S. Would you mind checking out one of my newest songs? I make mainly dance/trance/techno and just afew days ago a house song. thank you

good luck getting famous (although not that you'll be needing it)
:) XD

Argyros responds:

It is finished, and it is on iTunes as well as Spotify.

Thanks for the kind words!

[I Feel Like Dancing!]

Original

The beat was amazing and the vocals just make it funny. I can see someone using this in a 1.5/5 rating animation and everyone rating it 10/10 because it was so amazing. I just love the vocals.

[+- Misty Morning -+]

missing one thing

All it needs now is some bass and it will be complete.

Everything else is great, the melody arrangements and the feel from the song, all good.

[Dreamy Adventure (Remix)]

not ambient

Good job for your like 3rd song, but this is in the wrong genre; it's primarily ....drumNbass?...techno?.. I'd put it in dNb if I were you lol.

Anyway those effects you used were really cool as well as the melodies being really good, but try to master it better so that I can hear the guitar sounding thing because the bass seems to be taking up the whole volume and bumming out your other instruments.

Now here's something extra; not saying you have to, but if you can, complexify (is that even a word 0_o) your drum beat abit more with maybe different samples so it sounds more dnb-ey-ey-ey..ish...-like.
~OR~
if you're aiming for the ambient "relaxing" feel, slow down the drums to half speed or just take them away completely.

That may seem like alot of concrit (constructive criticism) but this is just me nitpicking and finding out small things. Other than that, your song is good.

Keep it up! ~DjDO~

[|Never|]

good genre mix

well done, the strong kick drum and less than 140 BPM tempo as well as the sidechaining on the padsaw makes it house, the melodies and the padsaw it self make it trance, and the way the melodies sound.
One thing, the sidechained whoosh at the end (2:52) goes kinda offbeat as you get towards the last beat of the song (most noticable @ 2:54).
And that's my two cents for you. Keep it up, this song has potential to become something great.

5/5
9/10

Hey can you please check out my first house song? I would like some concrit from you also. Thankyou :)

kirja100 responds:

Thank you mate!!!!
I'm very glad :)
Ofcourse I'll check!

[20 Seconds to Comply]

very original

yo dude it's a good dnb song except try to unfilter your drums sometimes and also sometimes let them run the full 4 beat measure. That's about it.
other than that, everything else is good.
9 / 10
4.5 / 5 rounds to 5 / 5

Stroberider responds:

Gotcha! Yeah, this piece was a complete nightmare at times when it came closer to the post production because of all the clashing sounds and different leveling of frequencies while maintaining a good enough modulation. Thanks, buddy! And thanks for the nice constructive criticism...always needed!

[Missing You - F-777]

this song makes me sad

The way the melodies are sorta just make me feel nostalgic for someone and it does give off the "missing you" feel. I think that's what got this song to the top weekly 5 instead of the composition of the song, although the composition of this is quite professional indeed.

Keep it up!

[When In Space]

spacey

This is danceable to, but it's more of a videogame song.
=D Keep it up!
